Top 3 AL MVP picks 📈 Leading a pitching staff. Field general. Leading the league in HRs. @BenVerlander is taking Cal Raleigh as the AL MVP right now.
Incredibly illustrative chart as it relates to Karl-Anthony Towns. A wise hooper once said - a double should just boost your confidence.
Here is who faced the most total double teams on touches in the front court last season What stands out most?

You need some good socks? Who doesn’t? So we visited my man John at his dynamic business @JohnsCrazySocks today in Farmingdale to stock up for #ChristmasInJuly. Great business, great cause and a great young man! 💙💛

The Knicks ran a set that's a staple in Mike Brown’s Kings playbook...fast-paced and full of options. I walk through how the Knicks executed it and compare it to how the Kings have used the same action. This is a free Patreon post available to all. Video link in the comments:

Players don’t want to do it, and it’s almost always a high-risk pass. Collective pressure executed correctly just outweighs the damage that can be done via backdoors.
Once heard a coach say that they were willing to give up a few back cuts in exchange for playing higher in the gaps because what they've found is that players don't really like to back cut that much & prefer to C&S or drive with the ball in their hands I think about that a lot
Another solid, workmanlike performance from Ariel Hukporti. Quick edit from last night's game. As the clips show, Huk was strong protecting the rim, had a smooth drive & floater, played well out of the short roll, & brought his usual competitive edge (watch until the last clip).
Idk about a lovefest but think he’s got what to offer on an NBA floor. Mostly bc he’s already shown he has what to offer on an NBA floor. Anything else?
I wonder if @JCMacriNBA and @BenRitholtzNBA still holding a lovefest for Tyler Kolek?
Holy moly.
Paul George hurt his left knee during an offseason workout and just underwent an arthroscopic procedure on it, the 76ers say. Doctors will reevaluate him leading into training camp, team says.
Don’t remember this level of consistent full-court ball-pressure in prior summer leagues. League so clearly moving that direction.
